Money - one of the most practical gifts that you can think of for the New Year. Such a gift will always be appropriate, and its owner will be able to purchase the necessary thing to his taste. You can give a cash gift right in your hands, in a regular gift envelope or postcard, or you can do it in more original and interesting ways. We will consider them in this article.
Money cake
A gift in the form of a cash cake made from bills will look very impressive. To make it, we need thick cardboard, paper clips, glue, ribbons for decoration and banknotes that you want to present as a gift.
First you need to cut out the patterns for the cake. Their number may vary depending on how many tiers the cake will consist of. For a 3-tiered cake, we need 3 round bases with a diameter of 30, 20 and 10 centimeters.
Then you need to measure the width of the bill and cut 3 strips of width corresponding to this value + two centimeters per indents. This is necessary so that teeth can be cut on each side of the strip, which will serve to fix the tiers of the cake. It is on them that glue will be applied to join the tiers.
When all blanks are cut, proceed to the first tier. On a cardboard template of a round form with a diameter of 30 cm we glue a strip with teeth. Its diameter should be less than 30 cm to leave room for folded bills.
It is important that they are on the ground after binding. The diameter of the folded bill may vary depending on their number and equivalent.
If the denomination of a large denomination and them a bit, then you can make the tubes wider, and if the number is large, then the diameter may be smaller. Gently fasten each such tube from the bill with a clip on the side of the first tier. One clip does not unwind the tube and secures the bill on the next tier. All similar operations are carried out with subsequent tiers. While using the glue, it is important to be careful that the money does not get dirty, stick to the cardboard or stick together. This can damage the banknote, which can significantly spoil the mood and positive impression of the gift.
When the crafts will be ready, you can colorize it, tied up with lace or tulle tapes. Since the theme of the gift is New Year's, you can choose ribbons with a print of fir branches, Christmas decorations, angels, snowflakes and stars.

It is considered to be that such a souvenir attracts to the life of its owner financial well-being and material prosperity.

Each of them should be twisted into peculiar cone-shaped leaves, glue the edges of the banknote with glue, and then fix them alternately on the base of the tree with glue.The base of the tree, on which the crown will be mounted, can be any light plastic or foam ball.
